Alexandria Vera, the eighth-grade English teacher who was allegedly impregnated by a 13-year-old student, was ordered by a judge to stay away from minors at an arraignment hearing on Friday, June 3, in Harris County, Texas.

The 24-year-old faces a felony charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child and could face a minimum of 25 years in prison without parole, the Daily Mail reported.

According to local news station KHOU-TV, judge Michael McSpadden ordered Vera to wear a GPS monitor and barred her from having contact with the victim or anyone under the age of 17. The former teacher at Stovall Middle School was also banned from using the internet while at her home and given a house curfew from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Assistant District Attorney Tiffany Dupree spoke to the press outside the courtroom. “It’s extremely serious. As parents, we entrust teachers with a very important role to educate our students, and we should not be concerned about teachers getting in a sexual relationship with our children while they’re at school.” 

The parents of the victim are being investigated by Child Protective Services, according to KHOU-TV. Court documents show that Vera told police the student’s mom and dad were “very supportive and excited” about the baby. But Vera said she had an abortion once social workers learned of their relationship. 

Vera claimed that she and the student “had sex on an almost daily basis at her home,” and that she became pregnant in January 2016. She has a 4-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. 

She is next scheduled to appear at court on July 12.
